Approximately Ninety Air Travels Connected to Jeffrey Epstein Allegedly Arrived at or Departed from British Airfields
An investigation has identified that close to 90 aircraft journeys associated to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein allegedly arrived at and departed from British airfields, with some allegedly carrying British women who claim they were abused by the found guilty sex offender.
Aviation Records Uncover Pattern of Movement
The flight logs were part of a trove of legal papers and files made public by Epstein’s estate that have been disclosed over the previous twelve months. The investigation identified 87 aircraft movements tied to Epstein – including many that were not previously known – arriving or departing from UK airports between the start of the 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and After Guilty Verdict Travel
Unnamed women were recorded among the passengers entering and exiting the UK. Significantly, 15 of these British airport journeys occurred subsequent to Epstein’s 2008 conviction for procuring prostitution from a child.
“It was ‘astonishing’ that there had never been a ‘full-scale UK investigation’ into his operations in the country,” remarked American attorneys representing hundreds of Epstein survivors.
UK Survivors and Court Cases
Evidence from one of the British victims helped convict Epstein’s associate Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. Yet, that victim has not received any contact by British law enforcement, according to her Florida-based lawyer.
In a response, the London's Metropolitan Police said they had “not been provided with any new evidence that would support reopening the probe.” They added, “Should fresh and pertinent information be brought to our attention, including any arising from the release of documents in the US, we will assess it.”
Ongoing Disclosure and Judicial Decisions
Proposed legislation to make public all files held by the American government in concerning Epstein passed the US Congress last month. The US justice department has until 19 December to follow through. Hundreds of thousands of papers are expected to be released.
Separately, a federal judge ordered last week that the DOJ could make public case files from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s close friend, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence over the allegations.
